The whole composition of the space is modern that’s formulated by bold planes and that layers the spaces and creates a visual connect simultaneously. The Dance of planes and flat ceiling weaves the space into modern format. The accessories, installations, decor and color pallet hails from ottoman period.
The most bold feature is the color pallet that is made out of powder pink combined with emerald green, lapis blue and Burmese ruby red. The entire pallet is scattered around the space and clearly defines various elements individually like plane, drapes and accessories.
Walking through the main reception is a double height space that creates the perfect sense of arrival and features the installation of 100 ittar bottles all illuminated on a brass shelves. The double height walls have square puncture that’s on mezzanine and appears like a modern jharokha from a haveli, double height arch opening and ceremonial elephant art and a red Mughal chandelier.
